Testing for Blood Glucose and Blood Ketones to prevent DKA

If you use GlucoMen LX 2 to test for blood ketones, make sure you use it to test for blood glucose as well to ensure that it is to hand and performing accurately and correctly at all times. It should not be used as a ketone-only meter. Symptoms of DKA usually evolve over a 24 hour period, with the first sign often being hyperglycemia so testing both glucose and ketones on the same meter will help ensure you are getting the best protection.
